About a month ago I got myself high-res posters from getvideoartwork.com for every movie in my collection and using the update functionality of XBMC didn't force it to show the new posters. I first manually did "Reload" for every movie but then I got annoyed and I removed the whole source and added it again so that all movies were newly loaded.
For getting the movie.tbn files EMM, MediaCompanion and MIP are very useful but they have no impact on what XBMC has cached and shows you.

don't know if this has been mentioned before but it's a long thread. if you have the option "don't use media info studio tags" turned off, so it does not populate it with media information, it still puts a " /" at the end of the real studio, which means that now we have media flag support built into XBMC it does not pick up the studio because it does not match the real studio. see below
with the option turn on the is as follows: (correct)
<studio>Warner Bros. Pictures / 540p / V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC / DTS / 6ch / eng</studio>
with the option turn off the is as follows: (incorrect)
<studio>Warner Bros. Pictures /</studio>
notice the " /" at the end. can you remove it so it does not appear ?

i think you should rather switch to adding the streaminfo tag, and leaving the studio tag as it should be.

fanart (or any image) scraping fails for me. the window remains blank.
